Excerpt from the book:
MY DAUGHTER EMMA
By Ulasi Joshua Ikechukwu
Emma
-a nine year old girl.
Steve
-her twin brother.
Mr. King
-a man who later adopted Emma.
Nina
-a nurse at the local hospital.
Dr. Kate
-a medical doctor at the local hospital.
Anita
-a biologist who later became a head teacher at Santha Elementary School.
The story takes place in a small village in England. Dr. Kate, Anita, and Mr. King worked for Caregivers International-a humanitarian organization that helped people in developing countries. The three were sent on a mission to a Western African Country that practiced the killing of twins.
In Africa, Anita and a local nurse both became pregnant and gave birth to twins. She entrusted her babies to the local nurse’s care and headed to South Africa to get a white woman who could help her bring back her babies. She taught that if the villagers saw two white women carrying two babies, they would never suspect that twin babies have been born in their land. The other women in her team were quite uncooperative because they were jealous of her; they could not have babies because of the polluted water they drank in Africa. While Anita was in South Africa, Dr. Kate who could not have babies, thanks to the polluted water she drank seized the opportunity to adopt one of Anita’s twin babies (Steve) in the midst of crises in the village. Mr. King adopted the other baby (not knowing that she was Anita’s daughter) and named her Emma. Nine years later, Mr. King died in the hospital after revealing part of what happened to Nina, a nurse in the local hospital. However, the whole truth was hidden from the rest of the members of the team, except Dr. Kate who watched the events as they unfolded. What followed were Dr. Kate’s efforts to keep the truth away from everyone else. However, she did not get so far, as her greed and cruelty gave her up. In the end, Anita was very glad to be reunited with her children.

him?
STEVE: Of course I’d love to see him someday, and mom too.
NINA: I think….
STEVE: And Emma’s mom too.
NINA: Does Emma know where her mom is?
STEVE: No.
NINA: I think I do.
STEVE: Really?
NINA: Yes, Emma’s mom was here some time ago. She wants to speak with Emma. She has even written her a letter.
STEVE: That’s great. Can I see the letter?
NINA: Yes, but Emma’s mom would not want someone else to read the letter. Not even Dr. Kate. Can you do me a favour, Steve?
STEVE: Secretly deliver the letter to Emma?
NINA: Exactly.
Stretches his right hand and collects the letter with a smile from Nina. Dr. Kate walks in immediately with Emma, and Steve secures the letter in his pockets.
DR. KATE: We shall be leave at once, Nina. Have a lovely day.
NINA: Have a nice day, Doc, bye Emma.
Nina then realized that she had delivered the wrong letter to Steve. But it is already too late.
SCENE 6: INT. ANITA’S HOUSE. EVENING.
The doorbell rings and Nina is welcomed inside.
ANITA: I’m sure the Doc. Opened up completely this time. Have a seat please; I’ll love to hear the story myself.
NINA: (Looking disappointed) Yes she did tell the full story, but I can’t tell you all she said. She wrote her story in a letter and asked me to deliver it without opening it. I intended to open it when I got home, but I swapped it with the letter I gave to Steve. I was supposed to give your letter to Steve, but I gave him Dr. Kate’s letter instead.
ANITA: (Hit her head hard) Too bad!
The door bell rings. Dr. Kate’s voice is heard from outside. Nina hides in the kitchen. Anita welcomes Dr. Kate walks in with Emma and Steve. Dr. Kate looks unsettled.
ANITA: Hello Doc, I hope everything is alright.
DR. KATE: No problems Ms. Anita.
ANITA: What about Emma and Steve? I hope they’re getting better.
DR. KATE: Can you do me a favour Ms. Anita?
ANITA: I’ll be glad to do anything for you Doc.
DR. KATE: I’d love if you’ll look after Emma and Steve for me. I think some people are trying to kidnap the kids.
ANITA: Let’s call the police then!
DR. KATE: No, I’m not really sure who these people are. I think it’ll be wise to keep the kids with you until my house is fully secure.
ANITA: They’re welcome here Dr. Kate.
DR. KATE: Thanks. I’ll leave at once. I’ll send their luggage in two hours.
Dr. Kate leaves the house and Nina walks into the sitting room.
NINA: Do you have that letter Emma?
EMMA: Yes it is here in my pocket. Steve gave it to me this afternoon. It is an interesting story, but I’ve not finished reading it. There are just a few lines left, and I’ll read them out loud for you.
Emma begins to read.
EMMA: “As the angry villagers approached, the local nurse knew that she could not go on hiding her babies. She knew the villagers had seen her twin babies, but not those of the biologist who were entrusted to her care. She did an amazing thing; something that most mothers cannot contemplate. The local nurse neatly removed a ceiling from the roof, placed the babies that belonged to the biologist between the ceiling and the roof, and asked Dr. Kate to take care of the babies in case she was killed. Dr. Kate was the only one among the team who saw where the babies were laid. Then she climbed down and laid her two babies on her chest. The villagers attacked and killed the local nurse, but her babies were saved by Mr. King, who ran with both babies as fast as he could, but they were two heavy for him, and the terrain was rough. Then Dr. Kate followed behind and snatched one of the twins from Mr. King, saving the life of the baby boy as well.
Emma continues:
EMMA: The police soon arrived and rounded up the angry mob. They also took the twins to a government hospital in a nearby town. Then the team from Caregivers retuned to the camp and Dr. Kate was happy to find that the heat at the roof of their house had kept the other babies worm. These were the twins born by the biologist who had been to South Africa to find someone to help her take the babies back to Europe. As the babies were white, the local authorities in Africa couldn’t keep the team from taking them back to Europe. So Mr. King adopted the baby girl and named her Emma. Although he couldn’t understand how her complexion had changed from black to white; Dr. Kate simply told him that the babies were jaundiced because of the polluted water which their mom had drunk, and he was so stupid to believe it. Dr. Kate also adopted the other twin baby and named him Steve. This is the complete story. It is true and cannot be contested. Should anyone have any doubts whatsoever, Dr. Kate has enough evidence to support this story. I believe she’ll be glad to provide pictures and video images of the events that took place in Africa if they’re required for the two million to be released. All these were covered by a hidden camera placed inside her wrist watch.
ANITA: My daughter Emma!
EMMA: (crying as she embraces Anita) Mummy!
STEVE: Mummy!
Anita, the head teacher was at last happy that she had found her twin babies whom she taught were killed nine years ago.
The End.
